Hello,
In Java SDK, from time to time we face with an issue with an access to classes
or methods, that are explicitly supposed to be as a part of public user’s API,
but, by mistake, are made private or package-private.
For example this issue [1], where KinesisClientThrottledException is
package-private but it can be an argument in a public method of RateLimitPolicy
interface if user wishes to implement its own.
// public interface
public interface RateLimitPolicy {
default void onThrottle(KinesisClientThrottledException e)
}
// package-private interface in the same package
class KinesisClientThrottledException {
…
}
So user won’t be able to implement it’s own RateLimitPolicy with overridden
onThrottle() method since KinesisClientThrottledException is package-private
Does anyone know a tool or something like compilation option or Spotless check,
that can detect a broken API at compilation time in case if, for example,
arguments of public method don’t have enough access privileges for that? It
would be very helpful to prevent such errors.
